https://www.californiacitynews.org/2017/08/national-city-sues-bernie-sanders-unpaid-bill.htmlBernie Sanders still hasn't coughed up the cash he owes National City for an event held last year in Kimball Park. Now he's getting sued.
"Despite Sanders' campaign rhetoric of a changed system, the Vermont Senator has not paid National City $28,337.28 for the May rally that took place weeks before California held its primary and just before Hillary Clinton secured the Democratic nomination.
Now, National City is officially taking the 75-year-old former presidential candidate to court to recoup about $31,000 from him. The cost includes the $28, 337.28 owed to them plus about $3,000 in penalties."

(1,349 posts)And you're extolling the Sanders campaign for itemizing the bills they're being sued for not paying?
$400k versus $25k?
Seems like Sanders is the only one being sued. Have you details about Clinton not paying the $25k her campaign owed?
